Les Forts de Latour「拉圖之堡壘」為一級酒莊Chateau Latour的二軍酒款，其酒質可媲美四級酒莊，其實拉圖酒堡的釀酒團隊是抱著將這款二軍酒維持在二級酒莊的水準之態度釀製她，的確在一些特優的年份中像﹕1982, 1996, 2000的Les Forts de Latour都堪稱有二級酒的氣質，這也難怪其價格在五大酒莊的二軍酒中高居不下。
此款二軍酒的葡萄來自四所葡萄園﹕Petit Batailley, Comtesse de Lalande, Les Forts de Latour以及Latour本園（一些較年輕或尚未達到一級水準的的葡萄樹），所釀之酒非常接近其母酒拉圖堡本身，只是酒體較為淡雅也較早熟，但仍需醇化數年後才能成熟。Les Forts de Latour是五大酒莊二軍酒中品質最優的一款

Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Les Forts de Latour has a fully mature bouquet with melted tar, graphite and black fruit scents, with a touch of tobacco in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a little chewy, with white pepper and a tobacco-stained finish that is very classic and unapologetically conservative in style. This is probably at its peak now, although it has the body to suggest it will hold in there for several years. Tasted February 2017.
